As a nurse, I know that medical personnel who care for the health and well being of patients want available the best medical equipment and measures available for any surgical care.
The current regulations are reasonable, common sense measures to ensure that life-saving equipment is on hand, infections are prevented, and that clear written policies and building guidelines are in place. They were proposed by medical experts at the Department of Health and were approved 12-1 by the Board of Health.
